The 5th grade classroom teacher approaches emails the school librarian because she needs to use library materials to teach a science lesson on weather and climate. The students will be exploring the differences, and she hopes to find a few books to define them. After receiving the email, the school librarian goes and finds the teacher and assures her that there are plenty of materials that are available for her lesson, but also suggests offers to teach the lesson collaboratively to incorporate other reading and research skills. She offers to meet with the teacher in her classroom during the teacher's planning time and/or after school, with a list of materials and ideas on other possible skills lessons.
